Chapter 79: Four Families, All Can Have Their Origins
"Wang Yuanwai is the illegitimate son of the Wang family in the county..."
"The Chen family is said to be a branch of the Chen family, Mr. Chen Xuanli, but Mr. Chen has always refused to admit it. However, Wang Yuanwai has never had any disagreement with the Chen family. I wonder if Wang Yuanwai knows something?"
"As for the Zhu family, he is a serious soldier who came down from the army. It is said that he was deeply appreciated by his superiors during the war, and his immediate superior is said to be in charge of many troops in Hebei Province."
"The Wang family has a secret relationship with the horse bandits in Xishan. They have done a lot of bad things over the years. We even have to hand over a certain amount of property to the horse bandits in Xishan every year, otherwise we will never be able to live a stable life for a whole year."
"As for the Zhu family, don't underestimate me. Zhu Yong looks stupid, careless and reckless, but he has a counselor who is proficient in calculations. It is said that he is the teacher of their Master Zhu."
Jiang Yang nodded, how many simple people can get into this position?
"And the Zhu family is very crazy in comparison... When the Zhu family settled in Xia Mi County, it aroused a lot of opposition. After all, the pot was so big that no one was willing to share it individually. But overnight,
Those people all shut up and no one knew what happened."
"According to the information I've learned, the Zhu family also has some power in their hands. They usually station themselves in front of the Zhu family's fertile fields in various villages..."
Jiang Yang was already prepared in his heart. There were horse bandits from the Wang family, experts from the Zhu family, and veterans from the Liu family. What about the Chen family?
You won't give me a whole group of martial arts masters, will you?
Jiang Yang laughed secretly, thinking too much.
"No one in the Chen family knows. They have been trying not to fight for it all these years, but no one dares to disobey Mr. Chen. The specific reason is because our Liu family doesn't have much time to go to Xiami County, so we haven't been able to find out."
Jiang Yang nodded. He knew most of this information, so he wasn't surprised at all.
So he said: "I don't know what your plans are for the future, but it doesn't matter."
"We want to follow you, and we want to be your pawns." Liu Chuanyi said, "Although your time in Xiami County has not been long, you have done a lot of great things."
"Although some people still can't understand it, I can guess a thing or two."
"Oh? Really? Tell me." Jiang Yang knew that Liu Chuanyi was smart, so he asked.
"Your Excellency wants to distribute the land to the people, suppress the gentry and gentry, and make the people of Xiami County rich." Liu Chuanyi continued: "Your Excellency is very dissatisfied with the monopoly of the gentry. There is not a single official in the county government who is from the gentry."
"It seems that your Excellency wants to completely eradicate the wealthy gentry families in Xiami County and seize the land for re-division." Liu Chuanyi said confidently.
Jiang Yang nodded, he was right, that was his plan.
"However, once you take action, you will face a lot of pressure." Liu Chuanyi continued to deduce his own ideas with some worry.
Although the suppression of the noble clans since Emperor Wu was very effective, how can it be so easy to achieve a thousand-year-old family if the centipede insect is dead but not stiff?
In particular, the Li and Tang royal families were branched off from the Li family in Longxi.
"Once your lord is against their opponents, if there is no very appropriate reason, then they are enemies of the nobles in the world."
Land is the absolute lifeblood! Those reforms did not revolve around land at that time, or even every dynasty change.
It's just that a small number of people owned a lot of land, which made it difficult for the vast majority of people to survive. Then they started riots, wars, dynasties, and re-division of land.
Therefore, it is impossible for the gentry to allow an official to redivide the land.
This cuts off their lifeline. They want to exploit the people over their heads, and the best way is to control the land.
Once Jiang Yang took action, there would be countless pressures on the court, so it was not that Wang Yuanwai did not see Jiang Yang's intention, but he was disdainful.
You can fight me in Xiami County, but there are some unspoken rules you can't touch!
It's okay for you to reclaim wasteland for the people of Yumu, but you can give it to me and give it a try? You've got to take off your black gauze hat.
The energy of the nobles is not small. A county magistrate? Let alone a county magistrate, the governor of a continent, the observer of a country, and even the governor of Jiedu gave in to the nobles of the world.
Speaking of this, Liu Chuanyi looked at Jiang Yang and had a bad idea in his heart, and asked in horror: "Is that what you are thinking?"
"That's right." Jiang Yang nodded.
In the past few days, despite helping Wen Guan and Tang Yingcai prepare these things for Li You, there was another thing that he had not forgotten, which was the dispatch to Xishan to investigate the situation of the horse bandits.
According to reports from people sent by Chen Zhiyong, there have been more and more horse bandits in Xishan in the past few days, with the number probably exceeding 3,000.
And the number of people is still increasing. If Jiang Yang doesn't know what they want to do, he's a pig head!
However, Jiang Yang also had a plan in mind, and asked Liu Chuanyi with a smile: "I have a task and I wonder if you dare to do it?"
"Gudu." Liu Chuanyi was frightened by Jiang Yang's boldness, and said in a deep voice: "It's just driven by the adults."
"Tomorrow when the martyrs' funerals are held, the crimes committed by members of the Wang family will also be made public. It's just that the crimes of the Wang family need a heavyweight to summarize them. Are you willing?"
Jiang Yang asked.
Do you think it is more important for a cunning commoner to sue the Wang family or for the Liu family, who is also a nobleman, to sue the Wang family? Which one is more credible? Which one will give you more excuses and reasons to take action?
Of course, there is no need to say more, and this will easily remind everyone of the infighting among the noble families. It is normal for the Liu family to take refuge in themselves and suppress the Wang family.
Liu Chuanyi was startled. If he really did this, then the nobles in the world would really have no room for their own survival and would have to go to the dark side.
Liu Chuanyi was a little scared at this moment. Can the county magistrate in front of him really survive after this storm is over?
This is a rule that challenges the entire noble clan.
Gritting his teeth, Liu Chuanyi said: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
"Yes, you are very courageous." Jiang Yang smiled and said: "After this time, I will find some ways for you so that your Liu family's income will not be lower than before, but you must know that my rules are the rules in Xiami County
.”
Jiang Yang chuckled and said, "Anyone who doesn't follow the rules will die."
"I understand, little one." Liu Chuanyi swallowed.
Jiang Yang also arranged for them to hand over 300 of his best men to Wen Guan for command and then let them leave.
The sun is gradually setting, and there is invisible pressure in the quiet air of Xiami County.
A group of people from the old county government office were sitting in the lobby, and the servants beside them were constantly packing their things because they would be moving tomorrow.
The people sitting in the lobby are naturally close friends like Li You, Wen Guan, Tang Yingcai, Chen Zhiyong, Ma Feng, and Wang Pengyue.
